It should be pretty easy to see if the current system is effective in helping teams rebuild....there should be a correlation between top draft picks (in crappy seasons) leading to improved positions in subsequent seasons.

If you have the data you could see whether the system is actually effective in helping rebuild...I'd hypothesize that it isn't a strong correlation.
